> Russia has effectively compromised President Trump, according to the CIA and FBI. Just on face value of that statement, I suggest you temper the urge to emit hyperbole. ["influence" & "control"] > CIA and FBI. As far as national defense institutions go, I have far greater trust in the our military than the barely accountable agencies that cloak themselves in secrecy and operate in the shadows. As far as Russian and their earlier incarnation as Soviets and influencing other nations, /and their populations/, I suggest you stop your (apparent) regiment of taking the word of Corporate media as gospel and acquaint yourself with the methodology of destabilizing target nations as practiced by the Russians. (They are old hands at it.) Let me assure you: if this nation is destabilized and if well meaning but entirely naive Americans permit yourselves to be used as useful tools of external actors, America & Americans will be the biggest losers.
